Help me give my students a quick and dependable way to have their pencils sharpened. Sharp pencils lead to sharp minds ready to write and learn! We need pencils and an electric pencil sharpener.
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Having sharpened pencils ready for students to write or calculate in class make a HUGE difference. When I have sharpened pencils ready to share with kids it alleviates a LOT of stress for my students. This pencil sharpener is super cool because it automatically sharpens pencils on its own without having to hold the pencil in and apply any pressure, so it's a lot of fun to watch. The fact that it's quick and less noisy than most electric sharpeners saves time in class and lets us take advantage of every instructional minute.
This project is for pencils and an electric pencil sharpener.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
